Office Garden and Landscape Design in Kolkata

A courtyard in Salt Lake sits on land that was open water within living memory, and the high water table that comes with that history means a garden built without raised beds and a proper drainage layer will show standing water after the first heavy week of rain.

New Town's plots, laid out across Action Areas that were mostly paddy fields and water bodies before the township was built, need the same check before planting begins.

A layout for a wet season and a dry one

We grade the ground and lay drainage before choosing a single plant, since close to 1,850 mm of rain arriving in four months will find any low spot in the design that was missed at the start.

Once the drainage is right, the same corner does different work across the year, standing up to the rain from June to September and then carrying a lawn, a seating area or a flowering bed through the drier months that follow.

What the build actually covers

Once the drainage and grading are settled, the build covers soil amendment for ground that is heavier in clay than a standard planting mix would assume, an irrigation line run to match the layout, and a planting plan agreed with the facility team rather than handed over as a finished surprise.

We hand over a simple plant list and a watering note for whoever on the office staff ends up checking on the space day to day.

A garden that a facility team can actually keep up

We choose the planting so that day-to-day upkeep, watering and light weeding, can be handled by whoever on staff is already responsible for the space, with the heavier seasonal work like pruning and bed renewal coming from us on a scheduled visit.

That split matters more in Kolkata than in a drier city, since a courtyard left entirely unattended between our visits during the wet months can develop drainage and weed problems that a quick daily check would have caught early.
